LibreOffice < 4.2.8 / 4.3.5 RTF File Handling Code Execution (Mac OS X)

high Nessus Plugin ID 80830

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains an application that is affected by an invalid memory write vulnerability.

Description

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 4.2.8 or 4.3.x prior to 4.3.5. It is, therefore, affected by an invalid memory write vulnerability. An attacker, using a specially crafted Rich Text Format (RTF) file, can exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to LibreOffice version 4.2.8 (4.2.8.2), 4.3.5 (4.3.5.2) or later.
